Song of the Day - Rancid - "Ruby Soho"
This is my submssion for @recordpool, Song of the Day.
During my university days, ska and punk were my favourite genres of music to listen to. Funny, considering that I'm a Classical Violinist by day.
There is something incredibly touching about this song "Ruby Soho" despite the fact that the singer is at best described as pretty terrible! May it is the complete sincerity with which he sings? Or is it the great music that backs him? I really can't say why I was attracted (and still am) to this band. However, my wife and daughter hate this music, so I only get to listen to it in the car when I'm driving by myself....
Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
Having a party up next door but I'm sittin here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all
[Chorus]
Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[X2]
He's singing and she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[X2]
Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin' is gone
She's not the only one who knew there's somethin' wrong
Her lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[X2]
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Destination unknown (Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho)
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[X2]

I remember seeing Rancid at a BIG DAY OUT in Perth mid 1990. I kinda forgot about them but I'm going to listen to them today.. I used to have them on cassette 😉
ha.. like hubby with Motorhead or me and Dylan. Though we have tons of stuff we listen to together... we aren't allowed to play these haha
Lucky you! I never saw them live. Somehow, in our family, only my music choices are vetoed....
Its a hard hard life.... poor you!! Xxx Yeah there's lots of stuff I saw that blows people away now.
dang @bengy with the mid 90's punk rock! hahahaha I love this song too, it's so damn catchy
It is catchy! But that singing is just terrible!
